What is mentoring?

Mentoring is when someone guides you so you can:

• learn something new
• do it well on your own.

A mentor is someone who already knows a lot about what you want to learn.

They share what they know and give you advice.

A mentor can help you:

• make your own decisions
• build your skills
• work out what your goals are
• build your confidence
• learn new ways of thinking about things
• become a mentor yourself.
